To caffeine or not to caffeine!

I drink so much iced coffee it's scary. I'm keto for arthritis not insulin resistance reasons so I don't check my levels. Not sure if it has an impact or not. I'd never heard that.1

I haven't tried BPC yet. I probably should. How do you make yours?
2 cups (16 oz.) Eight O'clock Hazelnut
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tbsp heavy cream
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
Hit them with a blender of some sort (I use an immersion blender), consume the delicious, fatty goodness.
Yum is right.
I do BPC light. I use maybe 1 tsp coconut oil and a cople of table spoons of whipped cream or 1/1-1tsp butter. That way I can have a few coffees in the morning. Gotta have my coffee ritual!0 -

I skip the cream but when I add butter it's creamy to me.
I sometimes have coffee later in the day too and I'm more likely to add cream and coconut manna at that time of day. (no MCT, coconut oil or butter). If I'm skipping lunch, I'll still add one or two of those things to keep me going.
Quick refresher? . What's the advantage of MCT oil over coconut oil?
The MCT oil that I use has 13.5g caprylic acid (C8) per tablespoon instead of only about 4g that coconut oil has. But it doesn't have any of the other fatty acids at all so I still use coconut oil in other things just about every day too.
That really short chain caprylic acid is fast brain energy and I use it as a supplement for ADHD0 -
Heavy cream and various flavored liquid stevias have been a godsend for my morning coffee breaks.
I have been enjoying chocolate raspberry flavor, salted caramel, hazelnut, cinnamon, and vanilla. I change them up every day.0
